N. van Driel

N. van Driel was a Dutch track and field athlete representing athletics club R.S. Rozenburg in the early 1920s. She also played korball with the same club. 

Van Driel was the only women who was able in 1921 to beat Annie van de Blankevoort in the 80 metres event, who was named in the media “the invincible” that year. She beat her at the seasons’ first 1921 South Holland competition meeting.

The 1921 Dutch Athletics Championships was the first national championships that included women's events. At these championships Van Driel became the first female Dutch national champion in the 4x 100 metres relay event with S.C. Rozenburg. She won also the bronze medal in the 80 metres as part of these national championships a week later.
